It's going to be weird going to E3 next year and not seeing a section of the Activision booth cordoned off for The Movies next year.  The game has finally gone gold and will be in stores on November 8th.  The film making simulator will allow games to unleash their inner Francis Ford Copolla (or in John's case, Uwe Bol) as the game allows you to script and film your own movies.  The shear breadth and depth of the movie are impressive but it's what we've come to expect from the mind of Peter Molyneux.
